[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3411334, member: 15054"] Are you measuring with dial calipers and are they reading accurately? I have loaded .223 from 2.030 to past 3" oal and had no issues.. just searching for accuracy. If you are loading at the top of the powder scale then you can get into some higher pressures when seating bullets deep into the case. Seating them jammed into the lands will also result in higher pressures than recommended. The little .223 is pretty forgiving though and can take a bit of pressure. If the loads you make shoot accurate and you have no pressure issues then run with it. Could be the bullet you are using just has a short nose. [/QUOTE]
